Hello @willypimpernel! 👋

Thank you for the suggestions! AutoFill is specifically handled by iOS and 1Password isn't able to control when and where the "Passwords" prompt appears above the keyboard. 1Password only provides the data for the AutoFill experience but the actual rendering of the "Passwords" prompt is handled by Apple itself.

Occasionally, by long-pressing on a field an "Autofill" option appears, which is able to autofill information from 1password.

We have some more flexibility with the AutoFill > Passwords option that appears when you double-tap on a field and our team is working to add the ability to fill more types of of items from this menu such as credit cards. I'll let the team know that you'd like to see support for more items introduced in the future.

When it comes to Safari on the iPhone and iPad, you can use 1Password for Safari which is a filling method that we have more control over and that has the ability to fill all sorts of information including credit cards and addresses: Get to know 1Password for Safari on your iPhone or iPad

Thanks. Is there a way to use similar functionality for other browsers?

@willypimpernel

Only Safari can use browser extensions on iOS, so in other cases, you can use the double-tap > AutoFill > Passwords option to autofill other information in other browsers.

As of 1Password 8.10.56 for iOS:

When you select > from a field on an app or website, you can now select and fill items from all categories in 1Password.

— from our release notes

So that now means that you can paste credit card information or other data as required. Hope that will help! :)
